About London Youth
We are London Youth: a charity on a mission to support the capital’s youth sector to improve the lives of young people. We do this with and through our members – a network of 600 youth organisations – and at our two outdoor residential centres, Hindleap Warren and Woodrow High House.
Throughout our 135-year history, community youth organisations have provided a constant lifeline and a vital safe space outside the family and formal education, where young people can develop confidence, resilience and skills. Young people need opportunities outside school to have fun with their friends, to make a positive change in their communities and to shape the city they live in.
We look to work with all young people, focusing particularly on those who wouldn’t otherwise have access to the kind of opportunities we offer.
Last year we worked with over 28,100 young people through our sports development, employability, youth action and involvement, mental health, arts and outdoor education programmes. Our member network supported over 575,000 young Londoners. We delivered 149 training sessions to over 1,000 youth professionals.
